Xia Yanran only calmed down slowly after Nan Zhi comforted her for a while. Shortly after, she started to have stomach cramps, probably due to being too nervous and afraid.
Nan Zhi told her to rest on the bed while she went out to buy medicine for her.
The room became completely silent after Nan Zhi left.
Which was why Xia Yanran sucked in a nervous breath when her ringtone suddenly rang. An ominous feeling suddenly gathered in the pit of her stomach and she bit her lip, hard.
Opening the message with slightly shaking fingers, she wanted to close her eyes.
It was a photo.
A naked woman was lying under the dim lights. Both her hands were tied together with a necktie while her wet long hair covered her face. There were hickies all over her body…
Although Xia Yanran could not see the woman’s face clearly, she recognized almost immediately that she was the woman in the photo.
F*ck!!! That lunatic actually took a photo!
Xia Yanran received another message before she could react from the shock and panic.
“Room 206. I’ll send the photo to Yi Fan’s phone if I don’t see you within five minutes.”
Xia Yanran’s face started to pale.
If Yi Fan saw this photo…
Xia Yanran’s heart tightened.
That man had a mafia background and had very violent means. She knew very clearly how dark and cold-blooded he was.
He had many ways to torture her if she did not listen to his words.
Xia Yanran got out of the bed with weakened legs. She found a more conservative shirt in her luggage and put it on with shaking hands. She only left the room after she wrapped herself up completely.
By the time she stumbled in front of room 206, was trembling nonstop. Lifting her hand, she pressed on the doorbell.
The door opened not too long later.
The man had just finished showering and only had a towel wrapped around his waist as he stood at the door. He had a cigarette between his thin cold lips. His hair was wet and there were water beads that fell from his handsome and cold face from time to time.
Xia Yanran looked down. She did not dare to look at him again. “Mr Xiao, our deal is already long over. What do you want to do?”
Xiao Yi narrowed his dangerous and indifferent eyes. His cold lips moved and ordered, “Come in.” There was no room for discussion.
Xia Yanran walked in forcedly. Her heart beat was very fast, as if it was about to fail and jump out of her chest.
It was not that she had feelings for him. It was from the deep fear that had already ingrained within her.
Ning City was not that big, yet not that small either. She did not meet him for the past three years and thought that she would not meet him again in this lifetime. However, she did not think that he would appear in this way after so many turns.
Xiao Yi walked into the room. He was tall and muscular. His muscles were like a wall and each pack was clearly distinguishable. There were various scars on his back and one could tell from one look that they were left from countless fights and life-and-death situations.
Xiao Yi took the two wine glasses from the wine cabinet and passed one glass to Xia Yanran.
Xia Yanran did not take the glass. She said with a tight breath, “Mr Xiao, I can’t drink.”
Xiao Yi raised his straight eyebrows slightly. He half-squinted his eyes that were filled with danger. His tone was filled with evilness. “You’re scared that I would drug you?”
Xia Yanran’s heartbeat quickened as she swallowed in fear. “Mr Xiao, that thing had happened so long ago. Please return the photo to me…”
His sinister cold laugh interrupted Xia Yanran’s unfinished words. He put down the wine glass as his well-defined long fingers pinched her sharp and small chin swiftly. “Can’t you find another man to be your boyfriend? Why did you get Yi Fan of all men? Is it because you think he’s rich and easily fooled?”
Xia Yanran shook her head. “I’m serious about Yi Fan…”
Pain came from her chin as the man tightened his hold. It was as if he wanted to shatter her chin into pieces. “Then I want to see how a woman I’ve slept with and spoiled, can be serious with him.”
